Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muay Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alvin Ray Dunkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thai's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Town Called Malice. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
